Diseases of Marine Fishes

Will you be prepared when fish disease strikes? If you keep marine fish for any length of time, itâ€™s not a question of if youâ€™ll encounter disease, but when! And when a fish becomes ill, its lifeâ€”and potentially the life of its tankmatesâ€”depends on quick, effective intervention on the hobbyistâ€™s part. An ailing specimen doesnâ€™t have time for guesswork, anecdotal solutions, or â€œsnake oilâ€ treatments! It needs a proven remedy, and it needs it now! Written by Jay Hemdal, Curator of Fishes and Invertebrates at The Toledo Zoo and an avid aquarist with over 45 years of experience in marine fishkeeping, The Salt Smart Guide to Preventing, Diagnosing, and Treating Diseases of Marine Fishes provides the expert, authoritative guidance youâ€™ll need to make a proper identification and begin the right course of treatment when disease rears its ugly head in your aquarium. The Salt Smart Guide to Preventing, Diagnosing, and Treating Diseases of Marine Fishes offers comprehensive, easy-to-comprehend information on: - How to select healthy specimens - Quarantine procedures - Arriving at an accurate diagnosis - Fish diseases related to husbandry or environment, such as Head and Lateral Line Erosion (HLLE) - Common parasites of marine fishes, such as marine ich (Cryptocaryon irritans), marine velvet (Amyloodinium), clownfish disease (Brooklynellosis), and red-band syndrome (Uronema marinum) - Bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases - Exophthalmia (â€œpop-eyeâ€) and other eye problems - Zoonosis and dangerous marine organisms - Fish pharmacology - A bonus section on invertebrate disease - And much, much more! Whether you currently have a sick fish and want to identify the disease and proper course of treatment, or you simply want to be better informed about diseases you might encounter in the future, The Salt Smart Guide to Preventing, Diagnosing, and Treating Diseases of Marine Fishes is a must for your aquarium library!
